Spectators: 7227 (Terracing: 5422, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 143) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Cícero Azevedo got the match started through his kick off. The supporters of OROBORO F.C booed when São Paulo F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jânio Favoretto didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 6th minute of the match Wilson Fantini shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Luiz Fabiano Donatello showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 10 minutes into the match, São Paulo F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when João Pedro Linares came free, but Luiz Fabiano Donatello reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 12 minutes, Cícero Azevedo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. São Paulo F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Cícero Azevedo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dadá Sergipano might have been able to make a better finish in the 17th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luizinho de Amorim. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dadá Sergipano ran back to his position shaking his head. 20 minutes into the match, São Paulo F.C.'s Dadá Sergipano sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Luizinho de Amorim narrowly saved just below the crossbar. João Pedro Linares received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Luiz Fabiano Donatello tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leonel Leme in the 35th minute of play forced São Paulo F.C.'s goalkeeper Luiz Fabiano Donatello to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 38th minute of the match, Dadá Sergipano got a very nice opportunity to score, but Luizinho de Amorim was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Dadá Sergipano could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 41st minute of the match, but Luizinho de Amorim made a huge save. In the 43rd minute Cícero Azevedo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luizinho de Amorim saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Cícero Azevedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell João Pedro Linares to make the kick off. A well-hit corner resulted in Júnior Figueiredo heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind São Paulo F.C.'s goalkeeper Luiz Fabiano Donatello, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 72ndth minute of the game Cícero Azevedo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but OROBORO F.C's Luizinho de Amorim was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Murilo Salgado kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. OROBORO F.C's Leonel Leme got his second yellow card of the match in the 79th minute. The referee ordered Leonel Leme off the ground. In the 79th match minute, OROBORO F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leonel Leme to maneuver through the defense. Dadá Sergipano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. João Pedro Linares hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. OROBORO F.C's Luizinho de Amorim played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dadá Sergipano in the 88th minute of play. Cícero Azevedo might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luizinho de Amorim. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cícero Azevedo ran back to his position shaking his head. Cícero Azevedo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Luizinho de Amorim tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
